Zolpidem
Zolpidem is a fast-acting hypnotic from the imidazopyridine group, primarily used for the short-term treatment of sleep disorders. It acts as an agonist at the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABA-A receptor, thereby enhancing the inhibitory effect of GABA in the central nervous system. Due to its mechanism of action, it may have potential for dependence and should only be used under medical supervision.
